South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue issue advice on their website on preventing arson, stating: “Even small deliberate fires, like bin and rubbish fires, can quickly spread and put lives and property in danger.”

Their advice to prevent arson is:

Put bins out early on the morning of collection, rather than the night before

Take bins from the kerbside as soon as you can after they have been emptied

Store bins and rubbish away from buildings, but within the boundary of your property

You can also help the police by reporting people who you know are starting fires in your area.
